Sports Rehabilitation incorporates holistic, hands on therapy, not just treating the injury but also identifying and correcting the causative factors. This helps to maintain fitness levels and strength throughout treatment.

We specialise and care for sports people at the highest level, and a thorough functional rehabilitation program is devised for each individual. This allows for optimal participation in the individual's chosen activity during treatment. It also ensures that, on return to full activity, the individual is fully fit and able to meet all the necessary demands of the activity required.

The assessment and treatment tools include:  

• Postural analysis
• Gait analysis
• Muscle testing
• Massage
• Exercise and specific stretches
• Tailored rehabilitation programmes
• Core stability exercises

 

Why use sports rehabilitation?

What can it treat?

Sports injury rehabilitation involves a range of client assessment and rehabilitation techniques in order to correctly treat the sports injury.
By correctly identifying any muscle imbalances or postural abnormalities we can provide treatment that will facilitate a safe return to sport with full functionality.

We can assist individuals suffering with:

Soft tissue and sports injuries

• Injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments e.g. ankle sprains, hamstring strains, thigh injuries and any type of muscular pain.

Joint problems

• Including injury, pain, swelling, stiffness or instability in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee or ankle joints. 

Back and neck problems

• Including facet joint problems, disc problems, spondylolisthesis, ankylosing spondylitis, pain or stiffness.

 
We aim to provide a sports-specific rehabilitation programme tailored to each individual and their needs.

What to expect from treatment

The initial consultation consits of a full physical assesment and medical history. This generally lasts between an hour and an hour and a half, including treatment. Subsequent sessions last around 45 minutes, depending on the complaint.

The treatment begins by warming up your muscles through gentle manipulation. Then gradually the therapist will work their way into the muscles, starting at the surface and gradually going deeper. A tailored exercise programme is used together with regular massage treatment in the management of both acute and chronic injuries.
